I do not think that is enough.

To achieve 10 places of accuracy we need an error less than .000 000 000 05
We solve the equation:

That is exactly what I did. I got 44722.359... Which rounds up to 44723. That is the beginning of the tail so we are taking one term less which is 44722.
I see also that I posted 44721. Whoops...

Hi;
When I solve it I got n = 141421.356

After 12 iterations of the algorithm:
We have to sum:
Which is more than 11 digits of accuracy from only 21 terms!

Awesome! But why are there commas in the expression?
Can you now show me what the algorithm actually does i.e. What method it uses?

Thanks! We will have some fun tomorrow with it. Hopefully we will look at 5 or 6 
other acceleration techniques.
